WASHINGTON (AP) — Saying traditional census outreach will not be enough, Hispanic groups on Wednesday urged the Obama administration to follow through now on its pledge to pass immigration reform or risk an undercount of millions of people.
The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, Univision Inc., the League of United Latin American Citizens and SEIU announced a grassroots campaign that would supplement Census Bureau efforts to reach the traditionally hard to count Hispanic community.

Thank you Margaret Sanger.
Fixed.
The Democrats created the artificial category of “Hispanics” in the 1970s as a way to create another class of victims, which they could imbue with special rights and privileges, including affirmative action and minority business set asides. The result is another minority group that votes Democrat. It doesn’t matter that 51 percent of Hispanics consider themselves white. The Census Bureau has even created another phony category called “non-Hispanic whites,” which are now 66 percent of the population and will be 50 percent in 2042. The reality is that whites will still be more than 70 percent of the population in 2042.
In 2008, if John McCain had received 60 percent [vice 55 percent] of the white vote, he would have won even if Barack Obama had received the entire Hispanic vote. Credible surveys indicate that the major policy concerns of Hispanics/Latinos were no different than the concerns of non-Hispanics/Latinos. The economy and jobs topped the list. There is little evidence that immigration policy was an influential factor in Hispanics’/Latinos’ choice between the two candidates once basic party predispositions are taken into account. The size of the Latino voting population should be kept in perspective alongside other subsets of the electorate. An estimated 11.8 million voters were of Latino ancestry, compared with 17 million African Americans, 19.7 million veterans, 23.6 million young people, 45 million conservatives, and 34 million born-again white Christians
“pass immigration reform or risk an undercount of millions of people.”
In other words, make millions of CRIMINALS citizens and win their loyalty and votes in the process.
The liberals are selling out our country! Illegal immigrants are NOT Americans and they are NOT the future of America!!!!
If they want to come here, I’ve got no problem with that, but they need to do so LEGALLY.
Every single illegal immigrant needs to be arrested and deported! No excuses!!!!!
they are already getting their way. haven’t they been reading the news today?

woohoo for them
woe is us
We can see why they feel empowered: Washington is setting the example of following only the laws they like.
free EAD’s. legal immigrants have to pay for these.

Immigrants were released with documents advising them “that per the assistant United States attorney assigned to this case, all persons involved with the Yamato Engine Specialists ... should be afforded the benefit of deferred action and an employment authorization document, valid for the duration of this case.”
"We are the future of the United States."
Thank God this is NOT a "hate group". Can you imagine how bad it would be if a "hate group" said this?
Calling William Barret Travis...
Molon Labe.
All white people whose ancestors came from England, France, Germany, Belgium, Ireland, Scandanavian nations, Italy, Greece, etc.
Now think of Mexico City and Tijuana.
No matter what the Liberal PC press says, any area that has floods of illegals replicates the same 3rd World culture that is pervasive in their homeland.
Assimilation (including history and language), legal entry and citizenship eventually made us all “Americans” no matter where we were from.
The Statists/Marxists want a Tower of Babel and massive numbers of uneducated immigrants...easy votes and more reasons to grow the State.
That's exactly what it is.
The liberals are selling out our country! Illegal immigrants are NOT Americans and they are NOT the future of America!!!!
Hillary wants everybody she can get, and they'll be rewarded by years of Affirmative Action programs. She'll get tens of millions of voters.
Remember, this is the woman back in 2000 who was talking about the Electoral College. She hopes Americans we'll be disarmed by then and we have our first American dictator. This isn't conspiracy theory stuff. It's based on watching her for the last decade and determining motive. There is always a motive behind an action. If they want to come here, I’ve got no problem with that, but they need to do so LEGALLY.
Every single illegal immigrant needs to be arrested and deported! No excuses!!!!!
Agreed.
"Make no mistake about it: The census cannot succeed if Latinos are not fully counted," said Arturo Vargas, executive director of NALEO, noting that Hispanics make up half of the nation's percentage growth. "We are the future of the United States."
Don't threaten us. Perhaps we'll come to you, overrunning your pathetic army in half a day. No logistical problems like Iraq. We won't be supporting troops ten thousand miles away. Perhaps the future of Mexico won't be a future at all with that talk.
Great post. Why the hell should I learn Spanglish when The Chinese DO indeed own most of our treasury?
Unfortunately none of them will probably ever be deported back to their home country. Janet Neapolitan will push for special legislation on their behalf. Private bills come up in congress all the time for special case aliens. It’s a shame they won’t let us do our jobs and enforce the laws that we currently have on the books. The last fugitive operation that I was involved in targeted only criminal aliens. This practice will never address the millions of “non-criminal” fugitives running around in the U.S.
How true. I used to come across so many so-called "Hispanics" who hated each other: people from one Spanish-speaking country snubbing people from another. The same goes for every official government "racial" category. A truly post-racial America wouldn't have a government categorizing people according to "race".
Adding to my post above: The only thing that should concern the government should be: Are you a citizen? If not, are you here legally?
That's the way the law reads. We just need to enforce it.
Again the Hispanic Ku Klux Klan groups are out....pushing lawbreaking for their own....while having non-hispanics to subsidize them
Then the United States is over.
